about the book
Number of adventures through the magic mirror: two down, one more coming up!
Abby and Jonah are let down by their parents when they have to cancel their trip to Chicago to see their grandmother. Instead, the two pack their bags and head off into the magic mirror—and whatever fairytale waits for them beyond the glass.
They planned this time. No messing with the fairytale story.
So when they land in salt water and scare off Lana the Little Mermaid before she can rescue Prince Mortimer, they feel like all their planning has gone to waste. Now Abby and Jonah have to find a way to reset the story of Lana and the Prince.
Easy, right?
All they have to do is convince the mermaid to keep her tail, plan the royal wedding, and not let sharks eat one another….
